About Elie
Elie Raad, PhD, is Head of AI at inmind.ai, a services firm. He leads the architecture and delivery of production AI systems, including on-premises and air-gapped deployments. His work focuses on what separates a working pilot from an agent permitted to act in live business systems: trustworthy master data, integration with systems of record, human escalation, and clear accountability when things go wrong.
Session Overview
A clear-eyed assessment: which autonomous use cases are genuinely running in production today, which are in pilot, and which remain marketing narratives. Panelists share specific deployments including the guardrails, escalation protocols, and failure modes they have built in.
